Description

本発明は、コンロに関する。 The present invention relates to a stove.

従来、コンロバーナへの燃料の供給量を調節可能な操作つまみの回動位置に対応して火力表示を行うコンロが知られている。特許文献1に開示されたガスコンロは、操作つまみの回動位置に応じた所定の部分において発光部の光を前方に通過させる光通過部を備える。光通過部を通過した光は、筐体前面部に設けられる化粧パネルに設けられる透光部を介して、前方に出射される。このような構成により、透光部は、現在の火力に応じた部分を光らせることで、火力表示を行う。 Conventionally, stoves are known that display the flame power in response to the rotational position of an operating knob that can adjust the amount of fuel supplied to the stove burner. The gas stove disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a light passing section that passes light from the light-emitting section forward at a predetermined portion corresponding to the rotational position of the operating knob. The light that passes through the light passing section is emitted forward via a light-transmitting section provided in a decorative panel provided on the front portion of the housing. With this configuration, the light-transmitting section displays the flame power by lighting up a portion corresponding to the current flame power.

Below, the fuel supply device 20 that supplies gas to the back burner 6 and the operation knob 13 corresponding to the fuel supply device 20 that supplies gas to the back burner 6 will be described. The display of the flame power of the rear burner 6 on the operation knob 13, which will be described later, realized by the present invention is performed in the same way as the display of the flame power of the right burner 4, grill burner, and left burner 5 on the operation knobs 11, 12, and 14. In the following, the right burner 4, left burner 5, rear burner 6, and grill burner are collectively referred to simply as "burners."

操作つまみ13は、前端部を覆う正面視円形の平面部である前板部134と、前板部134の周縁部から後方に延びる筒状の胴部132とを有した、前後方向に延びる円筒形状の本体部材131を備える。燃料供給装置20は、操作つまみ13の押込操作に応じて奥バーナ6の点火及び消火を行い、操作つまみ13の回動操作に応じて奥バーナ6へのガスの供給量の調節を行う。押込操作は、操作つまみ13を後方へ押圧し、操作つまみ13の前板部134をコンロ1の筐体2の前面F(パネル装置9Bの化粧パネル80の前面、図1参照)よりも後方に押し込む操作である。回動操作は、操作つまみ13の胴部132を指等で摘まみ、前後方向に延びる軸(軸心AX)を中心に操作つまみ13を回転する操作である。 The operation knob 13 has a cylindrical body member 131 extending in the front-rear direction, which has a front plate portion 134, which is a circular flat portion in front view covering the front end, and a cylindrical body portion 132 extending rearward from the peripheral portion of the front plate portion 134. The fuel supply device 20 ignites and extinguishes the rear burner 6 in response to the pushing operation of the operation knob 13, and adjusts the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6 in response to the turning operation of the operation knob 13. The pushing operation is an operation of pushing the operation knob 13 rearward and pushing the front plate portion 134 of the operation knob 13 rearward from the front face F of the housing 2 of the stove 1 (the front face of the decorative panel 80 of the panel device 9B, see FIG. 1). The turning operation is an operation of pinching the body portion 132 of the operation knob 13 with fingers or the like and rotating the operation knob 13 around an axis (axis center AX) extending in the front-rear direction.

燃料供給装置20は、プッシュ・プッシュ機構24、ガス流路部22、火力調節カム26、流量調節部31、連結部材25、中火ガイド90等を備える。プッシュ・プッシュ機構24は、公知の機構であり、本実施形態では、操作つまみ13を待機位置、押込位置、操作位置の各位置にて位置決めし、各位置に応じて後述するメイン弁(図示略)を開放状態又は閉鎖状態に維持するために用いられる。待機位置は、操作つまみ13の前板部134が、コンロ1の筐体2の前面Fと前後方向においてほぼ同じ位置となる位置である(図6参照)。待機位置において、操作つまみ13の前板部134は、前面Fよりも僅かに後側に位置してもよいし、前面Fよりも僅かに前側に位置してもよい。押込位置は、操作つまみ13の前板部134が、前面Fよりも後方に押し込まれた位置である(図示略)。押込位置において、操作つまみ13は待機位置よりも後方に位置する。操作位置は、操作つまみ13の後端部が前面Fよりも後方に位置するとともに、操作つまみ13の本体部材131の大部分が前面Fよりも前方に突出する位置である(図7から図9参照)。操作位置において、操作つまみ13は待機位置よりも前方に位置する。操作つまみ13は、操作位置にある場合、軸心AXを中心に回動操作可能である。 The fuel supply device 20 includes a push-push mechanism 24, a gas flow passage 22, a flame adjustment cam 26, a flow rate adjustment section 31, a connecting member 25, a medium flame guide 90, and the like. The push-push mechanism 24 is a known mechanism, and in this embodiment, it is used to position the operation knob 13 at each of the standby position, the pushed-in position, and the operation position, and to maintain the main valve (not shown) described later in an open or closed state according to each position. The standby position is a position where the front plate portion 134 of the operation knob 13 is approximately at the same position in the front-rear direction as the front face F of the housing 2 of the stove 1 (see FIG. 6). In the standby position, the front plate portion 134 of the operation knob 13 may be located slightly rearward of the front face F, or may be located slightly forward of the front face F. The pushed-in position is a position where the front plate portion 134 of the operation knob 13 is pushed rearward of the front face F (not shown). In the pushed-in position, the operation knob 13 is located rearward of the standby position. The operating position is a position where the rear end of the operating knob 13 is located behind the front face F and where most of the main body member 131 of the operating knob 13 protrudes forward from the front face F (see Figures 7 to 9). In the operating position, the operating knob 13 is located forward of the standby position. When in the operating position, the operating knob 13 can be rotated around the axis AX.

プッシュ・プッシュ機構24は、操作つまみ13の押込操作に合わせて前後方向に移動するスライダ40、スライダ40を前方へ押し戻すバネ(図示略)、メイン弁を駆動する弁駆動部(図示略)等を備える。スライダ40は、操作つまみ13が押込操作される度に、操作つまみ13を待機位置から押込位置を経て操作位置に移動する動作と、操作位置から押込位置を経て待機位置に移動する動作とを繰り返す。弁駆動部は、操作つまみ13が待機位置から操作位置に移動する動作に連動してメイン弁を開放し、且つ開放状態に維持する動作を行い、操作つまみ13が操作位置から待機位置に移動する動作に連動してメイン弁を閉鎖し、且つ閉鎖状態に維持する動作を行う。 The push-push mechanism 24 includes a slider 40 that moves forward and backward in response to the pushing operation of the operating knob 13, a spring (not shown) that pushes the slider 40 back forward, and a valve drive unit (not shown) that drives the main valve. Each time the operating knob 13 is pushed, the slider 40 repeats the operation of moving the operating knob 13 from the standby position to the pushed-in position to the operating position, and the operation of moving from the operating position to the pushed-in position to the standby position. The valve drive unit opens the main valve in conjunction with the operation of the operating knob 13 moving from the standby position to the operating position, and maintains it in an open state, and closes the main valve in conjunction with the operation of the operating knob 13 moving from the operating position to the standby position, and maintains it in a closed state.

ガス流路部22は、プッシュ・プッシュ機構24の後側に連結される。ガス流路部22の内部には第一ガス通路(図示略)が形成される。第一ガス通路は、下部に開口する導入口23に接続するガス供給管(図示略)から供給されるガスを、流量調節部31に流通する。第一ガス通路には安全弁(図示略)とメイン弁(図示略)とが設けられる。安全弁は、第一ガス通路を閉じる閉状態に弾性付勢された電磁操作式の弁である。メイン弁は、操作つまみ13の押込操作に応じて第一ガス通路の開閉を行う弁である。なお、メイン弁及び安全弁は周知のものであるので、動作の詳細な説明は省略する。 The gas flow passage section 22 is connected to the rear side of the push-push mechanism 24. A first gas passage (not shown) is formed inside the gas flow passage section 22. The first gas passage passes gas supplied from a gas supply pipe (not shown) connected to an inlet 23 opening at the bottom to the flow rate adjustment section 31. A safety valve (not shown) and a main valve (not shown) are provided in the first gas passage. The safety valve is an electromagnetically operated valve that is elastically biased to a closed state that closes the first gas passage. The main valve is a valve that opens and closes the first gas passage in response to the pushing operation of the operating knob 13. Note that the main valve and the safety valve are well known, so a detailed explanation of their operation will be omitted.

流量調節部31はプッシュ・プッシュ機構24とガス流路部22との上部に設けられる。流量調節部31の内部には第二ガス通路(図示略)が形成される。第二ガス通路は、ガス流路部22から供給されるガスを流通し、上部に開口する流出口(図示略)に接続されるガス供給管(図示略)を介して奥バーナ6に供給する。なお、図示しないが、グリルバーナにガスを供給する燃料供給装置の上側にはガバナ装置が設けられ、流出口から流出するガスがガバナ装置の内部に導入される。ガバナ装置は、内部に導入したガスの圧力を調節してグリルバーナに供給する。 The flow rate adjustment unit 31 is provided above the push-push mechanism 24 and the gas flow path unit 22. A second gas passage (not shown) is formed inside the flow rate adjustment unit 31. The second gas passage passes gas supplied from the gas flow path unit 22 and supplies it to the rear burner 6 via a gas supply pipe (not shown) connected to an outlet (not shown) that opens at the top. Although not shown, a governor device is provided above the fuel supply device that supplies gas to the grill burner, and gas flowing out from the outlet is introduced into the governor device. The governor device adjusts the pressure of the gas introduced inside and supplies it to the grill burner.

The flame adjustment cam 26 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction. A cam groove 27 is provided on the outer periphery of the flame adjustment cam 26. The cam groove 27 is formed in a spiral shape centered on the axis AX. The lower end of a pin 29 provided on a needle valve 28 engages with the cam groove 27. When the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates, the cam groove 27 guides the pin 29, moving the needle valve 28 in the front-rear direction.

火力調節カム26は、前方に延びる延伸部34を備え、延伸部34の前端部分に、内向きに突出する歯部35を有する。操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、歯部35は連結部材25の歯部38(後述)に噛み合い、連結部材25を介して火力調節カム26を操作つまみ13とともに軸心AXを中心に回転する。延伸部34の外周面には、筒状体操作部材36が固定される。筒状体操作部材36は、前方に延びる係合片36Bを有する。筒状体操作部材36は筒状体70(後述)に係合し、筒状体70を火力調節カム26とともに軸心AXを中心に回転する。延伸部34は、途中で狭窄するテーパ部34Aを備える。操作つまみ13に対する押込操作がなされる場合、テーパ部34Aは中火ガイド90に係合し、中火ガイド90を回転する。 The flame adjustment cam 26 has an extension 34 extending forward, and has teeth 35 protruding inward at the front end of the extension 34. When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the teeth 35 mesh with teeth 38 (described later) of the connecting member 25, and the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates around the axis AX together with the operation knob 13 via the connecting member 25. A cylindrical body operating member 36 is fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the extension 34. The cylindrical body operating member 36 has an engagement piece 36B extending forward.

連結部材25は、プッシュ・プッシュ機構24のスライダ40から前方に延び、軸心AXを軸とする軸体37に係合する。連結部材25は軸体37の前端部に保持され、軸心AXを中心に軸体37の周囲を回転可能な状態で、スライダ40とともに前後方向へ移動可能に設けられる。操作つまみ13は連結部材25の先端部25Aに保持され、連結部材25とともに前後方向へ移動可能、且つ軸心AXを中心に回転可能に設けられる。連結部材25は、火力調節カム26の歯部35に噛み合う歯38Aを複数有する歯部38を、後端部の外周面に有する。操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、連結部材25の歯部38は火力調節カム26の歯部35と噛み合い、操作つまみ13と火力調節カム26とを連結する。操作つまみ13が操作位置にない場合、火力調節カム26の歯部35は連結部材25の歯部38の前方に位置して歯部38と噛み合わず、操作つまみ13と火力調節カム26との連結状態を解除する。 The connecting member 25 extends forward from the slider 40 of the push-push mechanism 24 and engages with the shaft body 37 whose axis is the axis AX. The connecting member 25 is held at the front end of the shaft body 37 and is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction together with the slider 40 while being rotatable around the shaft body 37 about the axis AX. The operation knob 13 is held at the tip 25A of the connecting member 25 and is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction together with the connecting member 25 and rotatable about the axis AX. The connecting member 25 has a tooth portion 38 on the outer circumferential surface of the rear end, which has a plurality of teeth 38A that mesh with the tooth portion 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26. When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the tooth portion 38 of the connecting member 25 meshes with the tooth portion 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26, connecting the operation knob 13 and the flame adjustment cam 26. When the operating knob 13 is not in the operating position, the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26 are located in front of the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 and do not engage with the teeth 38, releasing the connection between the operating knob 13 and the flame adjustment cam 26.

中火ガイド90は連結部材25の後側に配置される。中火ガイド90はスライダ40の軸体37に固定されて、スライダ40とともに前後方向へ移動可能に設けられる。中火ガイド90は、固定部91、半鍔部92、案内部93を有する。固定部91は筒状であり、中火ガイド90を軸体37に固定する。半鍔部92は固定部91の前端部のうち下側の部分から径方向外向きに鍔状に突出する。連結部材25は半鍔部92の前面に対して回転可能に設けられる。 The medium flame guide 90 is disposed on the rear side of the connecting member 25. The medium flame guide 90 is fixed to the shaft body 37 of the slider 40 and is arranged so as to be movable in the front-rear direction together with the slider 40. The medium flame guide 90 has a fixed portion 91, a half flange portion 92, and a guide portion 93. The fixed portion 91 is cylindrical and fixes the medium flame guide 90 to the shaft body 37. The half flange portion 92 protrudes radially outward from the lower part of the front end portion of the fixed portion 91 in the shape of a flange. The connecting member 25 is arranged so as to be rotatable relative to the front surface of the half flange portion 92.

The guide protrusion 95 engages with a groove portion 36A provided on the lower surface of the cylindrical body operating member 36.

操作つまみ13の押込操作及び回動操作による奥バーナ6の点火及び消火と火力の調節について説明する。奥バーナ6が消火している場合、操作つまみ13は待機位置にある。コンロ1の使用者が待機位置にある操作つまみ13を押し込み、操作つまみ13が押込位置に移動する過程で、安全弁とメイン弁が開放され、イグナイタ(図示略)によって奥バーナ6が点火される。使用者が押込位置にある操作つまみ13から手を離すと、プッシュ・プッシュ機構24のバネがスライダ40を前方へ押し戻すことに応じて、操作つまみ13が操作位置に移動する。安全弁とメイン弁は開放状態に維持される。連結部材25によって、操作つまみ13と火力調節カム26とが連結される。 The following describes how the rear burner 6 is ignited and extinguished, and how the flame power is adjusted by pushing and rotating the control knob 13. When the rear burner 6 is extinguished, the control knob 13 is in the standby position. When the user of the stove 1 pushes in the control knob 13 from the standby position, the safety valve and main valve are opened as the control knob 13 moves to the pushed-in position, and the rear burner 6 is ignited by an igniter (not shown). When the user releases the control knob 13 from the pushed-in position, the spring of the push-push mechanism 24 pushes the slider 40 back forward, and the control knob 13 moves to the operating position. The safety valve and main valve are maintained in an open state. The control knob 13 and the flame power adjustment cam 26 are connected by a connecting member 25.

操作位置にある操作つまみ13が回動操作されると、連結部材25の歯部38が火力調節カム26の歯部35と噛み合った状態で、火力調節カム26が操作つまみ13とともに軸心AXの周りを回転する。火力調節カム26が回転すると、ニードル弁28のピン29がカム溝27に案内されて、前後方向に移動する。これにより、ニードル弁28が前後方向に移動する。ニードル弁28の位置に応じて、第二ガス通路を流通するガスの流量が調節され、奥バーナ6の火力が変更される。 When the operating knob 13 in the operating position is rotated, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 mesh with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26, and the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates around the axis AX together with the operating knob 13. When the flame adjustment cam 26 rotates, the pin 29 of the needle valve 28 is guided by the cam groove 27 and moves in the front-rear direction. This causes the needle valve 28 to move in the front-rear direction. Depending on the position of the needle valve 28, the flow rate of gas flowing through the second gas passage is adjusted, and the flame power of the rear burner 6 is changed.

使用者が操作位置にある操作つまみ13を押し込み、操作つまみ13が押込位置に移動する過程で、安全弁とメイン弁とが閉鎖される。奥バーナ6は消火する。使用者が押込位置にある操作つまみ13から手を離すと、プッシュ・プッシュ機構24のバネがスライダ40を前方へ押し戻すことに応じて、操作つまみ13が待機位置に移動する。安全弁とメイン弁は閉鎖状態に維持される。すなわち、本実施形態において、待機位置にある操作つまみ13を押し込んで押込位置に移動させる操作が、バーナの点火操作に相当する。操作位置にある操作つまみ13を押し込んで押込み位置に移動させる操作が、バーナの消火操作に相当する。また、点火操作の終了後から消火操作が開始されるまでの間、すなわち、バーナが燃焼状態にある間に、操作つまみ13が操作位置に配置される。消火操作の終了後から点火操作が開始されるまでの間、操作つまみ13が待機位置に配置される。 When the user pushes the operation knob 13 in the operating position, the safety valve and the main valve are closed in the process of the operation knob 13 moving to the pushed-in position. The rear burner 6 is extinguished. When the user releases the operation knob 13 in the pushed-in position, the spring of the push-push mechanism 24 pushes the slider 40 back forward, and the operation knob 13 moves to the standby position. The safety valve and the main valve are maintained in a closed state. That is, in this embodiment, the operation of pushing the operation knob 13 in the standby position to move it to the pushed-in position corresponds to the ignition operation of the burner. The operation of pushing the operation knob 13 in the operating position to move it to the pushed-in position corresponds to the extinguishing operation of the burner. In addition, the operation knob 13 is placed in the operating position from the end of the ignition operation until the start of the extinguishing operation, that is, while the burner is in a burning state. The operation knob 13 is placed in the standby position from the end of the extinguishing operation until the start of the ignition operation.

このように、操作位置にある操作つまみ13の回動操作に伴い、連結部材25が火力調節カム26を回転させる。回転する火力調節カム26がニードル弁28を移動することによって、流量調節部31の第二ガス通路を流通するガスの流量が無段階に調節される。すなわち、操作つまみ13の回転量に応じて連結部材25が奥バーナ6へのガスの供給量を調節し、奥バーナ6へのガスの供給量に応じて奥バーナ6の火力が変化する。操作つまみ11,12,14の押込操作及び回動操作による右バーナ4、グリルバーナ、左バーナ5の点火及び消火と火力の調節についても同様である。 In this way, as the operating knob 13 in the operating position is rotated, the connecting member 25 rotates the flame adjustment cam 26. The rotating flame adjustment cam 26 moves the needle valve 28, thereby continuously adjusting the flow rate of gas flowing through the second gas passage of the flow rate adjustment unit 31. That is, the connecting member 25 adjusts the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6 according to the amount of rotation of the operating knob 13, and the flame power of the rear burner 6 changes according to the amount of gas supplied to the rear burner 6. The same applies to the ignition and extinguishing of the right burner 4, grill burner, and left burner 5, and the adjustment of the flame power, by pressing and rotating the operating knobs 11, 12, and 14.

次いで、パネル装置9Bについて説明する。コンロ1は、グリル扉8の右側の領域にパネル装置9Aを備え、グリル扉8の左側の領域にパネル装置9Bを備える(図1参照)。パネル装置9A,9Bは、筐体2の前面Fに操作つまみ11~14を配置するために設けられる。パネル装置9A,9Bは、燃料供給装置20の前方において筐体2に固定され、グリル扉8とともに筐体2の前面Fを構成する。 Next, the panel device 9B will be described.

The decorative panel 80 has two openings 86 that penetrate in the front-rear direction, and a translucent portion 81 that is disposed above each opening 86. The decorative panel 80 is generally rectangular in front view, and has a slide lock 85 at its upper end. When the slide lock 85 is slid to the right while the decorative panel 80 is attached to the upper portion 52 of the panel main body 50, the decorative panel 80 is fixed to the panel main body 50.

2つの開口部86は左右方向に並んで形成される。2つの開口部86の内径は、夫々、操作つまみ13,14の外径より大きい。2つの開口部86内には夫々、操作つまみ13,14が配置される。透光部81は、化粧パネル80がパネル本体部50の上側部分52に組み付けられた状態において、光源基板60の前方に設けられる。 The two openings 86 are formed side by side in the left-right direction. The inner diameters of the two openings 86 are larger than the outer diameters of the operation knobs 13, 14. The operation knobs 13, 14 are disposed in the two openings 86, respectively.

図2及び図3を参照して、筒状体70の詳細について説明する。筒状体70は、本体部71とフランジ部76とを備える。本体部71は、前後方向に延びる円筒状である。本体部71の外径は、パネル本体部50の貫通穴53の内径よりも小さい。本体部71の内径は、操作つまみ11,12,13,14の外径よりも大きい(図3参照)。本体部71の前端部には、光通過部77が形成される。光通過部77は、本体部71の前端部のうちほぼ半分が後方に所定の幅で切り欠かれた部位である。 The cylindrical body 70 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3. The cylindrical body 70 includes a main body 71 and a flange 76. The main body 71 is cylindrical and extends in the front-rear direction. The outer diameter of the main body 71 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 53 of the panel main body 50. The inner diameter of the main body 71 is larger than the outer diameter of the operation knobs 11, 12, 13, and 14 (see Figure 3). A light passing portion 77 is formed at the front end of the main body 71.

Each of the recesses 142A extends forward from the rear end 133 of the body 132 in a comb-tooth shape. The rear ends of the recesses 142A are connected to the rear ends of the adjacent recesses 142A. That is, the recesses 142A are connected at the rear end of the body 132 to form one recess 142.

複数の凹部142Aの夫々の前方には、胴部132の周方向における幅が複数の凹部142Aの夫々の幅と対応する平面部143が設けられる。平面部143の夫々は、その法線が胴部132の径方向に沿うようにして、胴部132の周方向に等間隔に配置される。すなわち、胴部132において、複数の平面部143は、その面を胴部132の径方向外側に向けて、前後方向に延びるように設けられている。 In front of each of the multiple recesses 142A, a flat surface 143 is provided whose width in the circumferential direction of the body 132 corresponds to the width of each of the multiple recesses 142A. Each of the flat surface portions 143 is arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body 132 with its normal line aligned along the radial direction of the body 132. In other words, in the body 132, the multiple flat surface portions 143 are provided so that they extend in the front-to-rear direction with their surfaces facing radially outward of the body 132.

胴部132は、胴部132の後端部133において胴部132を貫通する穴部である係合穴141を備える。本実施形態において、係合穴141は、胴部132の周方向において、等間隔に三つ設けられる。三つの係合穴141の夫々は、凹部142のうち複数の凹部142A同士が連結する部分に設けられる。 The body 132 has an engagement hole 141, which is a hole that penetrates the body 132 at the rear end 133 of the body 132. In this embodiment, three engagement holes 141 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the body 132. Each of the three engagement holes 141 is provided in a portion of the recess 142 where multiple recesses 142A are connected to each other.

導光部材136は、導光材料を用いて構成される。導光部材136は、導光材料として、アクリル系樹脂等、透明性を有して光を導くことのできる材料を採用できる。導光材料を板状に形成した板状体は、板状体の端面(小口)から入射した光を内部で拡散させることによって、板状体の表面の任意の一部又は全体に導光する。導光部材136は、装着部137と、延設部138とを備える。装着部137は、本体部材131の胴部132の後端部133の外径とほぼ同じ内径を有する円環状である。延設部138は、装着部137から前方に向けて櫛歯状に等間隔に突出する突出部138Aを複数備える。図7から図9で後述するように、装着部137は、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、パネル本体部50の上側部分52よりも後方(化粧パネル80の前面よりも後方)に配置される。延設部138は、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、装着部137に近接する部分を除く大部分が、化粧パネル80よりも前方(筐体2の前面Fよりも前方)に配置される。 The light guide member 136 is made of a light guide material. The light guide member 136 can be made of a material that is transparent and can guide light, such as an acrylic resin. A plate-shaped body made of a light guide material guides light to any part or the entire surface of the plate-shaped body by diffusing light incident from an end face (small edge) of the plate-shaped body inside. The light guide member 136 includes an attachment portion 137 and an extension portion 138. The attachment portion 137 is an annular shape having an inner diameter approximately equal to the outer diameter of the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. The extension portion 138 includes a plurality of protrusions 138A that protrude forward from the attachment portion 137 at equal intervals in a comb-tooth shape. As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, when the operation knob 13 is in the operation position, the attachment portion 137 is arranged behind the upper portion 52 of the panel main body portion 50 (behind the front surface of the decorative panel 80). When the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, most of the extension portion 138, except for the portion adjacent to the mounting portion 137, is positioned forward of the decorative panel 80 (forward of the front surface F of the housing 2).

装着部137及び延設部138は、ともに導光材料を板状に形成した板状体の表面を外周面とする。導光部材136に用いられる導光材料を用いた板状体は、端面から光が入射された場合、入射された入射光が表面の全体に導光され、表面の全体が均一に発光するように構成されている。導光部材136は、本体部材131の胴部132の後端部133に組み付けられる。突出部138Aの数は、連結部材25の歯部35の歯38Aの数と同じである。したがって、使用者は、回動操作において、操作つまみ13の回転量と火力調節カム26の歯部38の回転量とを一致させやすい。また、本体部材131の胴部132における複数の平面部143の数と、延設部138における突出部138Aの数とは同じである。また、装着部137には、逆フランジ部151が設けられる。逆フランジ部151は、装着部137の後端部から装着部137の径方向内側に張り出す部分である。 The mounting portion 137 and the extension portion 138 are both outer peripheral surfaces of a plate-shaped body formed of a light-guiding material. The plate-shaped body using the light-guiding material used in the light-guiding member 136 is configured so that when light is incident from the end face, the incident light is guided to the entire surface, and the entire surface emits light uniformly. The light-guiding member 136 is assembled to the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. The number of protrusions 138A is the same as the number of teeth 38A of the tooth portion 35 of the connecting member 25. Therefore, the user can easily match the amount of rotation of the operation knob 13 with the amount of rotation of the tooth portion 38 of the flame adjustment cam 26 during the rotation operation. In addition, the number of the multiple flat portions 143 in the body portion 132 of the main body member 131 is the same as the number of protrusions 138A in the extension portion 138. In addition, the mounting portion 137 is provided with a reverse flange portion 151. The reverse flange portion 151 is a portion that protrudes radially inward from the rear end of the mounting portion 137.

規制部材139は、本体部材131に装着される導光部材136が本体部材131に対して位置ずれすることを規制するとともに、操作つまみ13を連結部材25の先端部25Aに保持させるための部材である。規制部材139は、筒状部161、前面部164、フランジ部162、係合部163、保持部165を備える。筒状部161は、本体部材131の胴部132の内径よりも小さい外径を有する円筒状である。前面部164は、筒状部161の前端部に設けられる正面視円形状の面部である。筒状部161の後端部から前面部164までの長さは、本体部材131の前後方向における長さよりやや短い。フランジ部162は、筒状部161の後端部から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出す部分である。係合部163は、筒状部161の外周面の後部において、筒状部161の径方向外側に向けてわずかに突出する鉤状部である。本実施形態において、係合部163は、筒状部161の周方向において、等間隔に三つ設けられる。保持部165は、前面部164の後面中央部から後方に延びる軸状部である。保持部165は、連結部材25の先端部25Aに設けられる穴部25B(図5参照)に挿入されるための部分である。 The restricting member 139 is a member that restricts the light guide member 136 attached to the main body member 131 from being misaligned with respect to the main body member 131, and that holds the operation knob 13 at the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25. The restricting member 139 includes a tubular portion 161, a front portion 164, a flange portion 162, an engagement portion 163, and a holding portion 165. The tubular portion 161 is cylindrical with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131. The front portion 164 is a surface portion that is circular in front view and is provided at the front end portion of the tubular portion 161. The length from the rear end portion of the tubular portion 161 to the front portion 164 is slightly shorter than the length of the main body member 131 in the front-rear direction. The flange portion 162 is a portion that protrudes from the rear end portion of the tubular portion 161 radially outward of the tubular portion 161. The engaging portion 163 is a hook-shaped portion that protrudes slightly radially outward from the rear of the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 161. In this embodiment, three engaging portions 163 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 161. The retaining portion 165 is a shaft-shaped portion that extends rearward from the center of the rear surface of the front portion 164. The retaining portion 165 is a portion for insertion into a hole 25B (see FIG. 5) provided in the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25.

導光部材136の延設部138における複数の突出部138Aの夫々の形状は、本体部材131の凹部142における複数の凹部142Aの夫々の形状に対応する。導光部材136の装着部137は、複数の突出部138Aの夫々の後部を連結し、本体部材131の凹部142における複数の凹部142Aの周方向における間隔と、複数の突出部138Aの夫々の間隔とが同一になるようにしている。導光部材136が本体部材131の凹部142の内側に対して後方から挿入されると、複数の凹部142Aの夫々に対して延設部138の複数の突出部138Aの夫々が、後方から前方に向けて差し入れられる。したがって、導光部材136が、本体部材131の胴部132に対して胴部132の周方向に回転することが規制される。この状態で、導光部材136の装着部137は、胴部132の後端部133の外周部を環状に覆う。 The shape of each of the multiple protrusions 138A in the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 corresponds to the shape of each of the multiple recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131. The mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 connects the rear portions of each of the multiple protrusions 138A so that the circumferential spacing of the multiple recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131 and the spacing of each of the multiple protrusions 138A are the same. When the light guide member 136 is inserted from the rear into the inside of the recess 142 of the main body member 131, each of the multiple protrusions 138A of the extension portion 138 is inserted from the rear toward the front into each of the multiple recesses 142A. Therefore, the light guide member 136 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction of the trunk portion 132 relative to the trunk portion 132 of the main body member 131. In this state, the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 annularly covers the outer periphery of the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132.

規制部材139の前面部164及び筒状部161は、凹部142に対して導光部材136が挿入された本体部材131の胴部132の内側に、後方から挿入される。このとき、本体部材131の胴部132における三つの係合穴141の夫々と、規制部材139の筒状部161における三つの係合部163の夫々とが、前後方向において同じ位置に並ぶようにして、胴部132に対して規制部材139が挿入される。本体部材131の胴部132に挿入された規制部材139の前面部164及び筒状部161は、胴部132の三つの係合穴141の夫々に対して、三つの係合部163の夫々が係合する位置まで押し込まれる。三つの係合穴141の夫々に対して、三つの係合部163の夫々が係合することによって、本体部材131、導光部材136及び規制部材139が一体となって、操作つまみ13が構成される。規制部材139の保持部165が連結部材25の先端部25Aに挿入されることで、連結部材25は、先端部25Aにおいて操作つまみ13を一体に固定する。 The front surface 164 and the cylindrical portion 161 of the regulating member 139 are inserted from the rear into the inside of the barrel 132 of the main body member 131 in which the light guide member 136 has been inserted into the recess 142. At this time, the regulating member 139 is inserted into the barrel 132 so that the three engagement holes 141 in the barrel 132 of the main body member 131 and the three engagement portions 163 in the cylindrical portion 161 of the regulating member 139 are aligned at the same position in the front-to-rear direction. The front surface 164 and the cylindrical portion 161 of the regulating member 139 inserted into the barrel 132 of the main body member 131 are pushed into positions where the three engagement portions 163 engage with the three engagement holes 141 in the barrel 132, respectively. The three engagement portions 163 engage with the three engagement holes 141, respectively, so that the main body member 131, the light guide member 136, and the regulating member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13. The holding portion 165 of the regulating member 139 is inserted into the tip portion 25A of the connecting member 25, so that the connecting member 25 fixes the operation knob 13 integrally at the tip portion 25A.

図6を参照して、待機位置にある操作つまみ13の外観及び操作つまみ13の構成の詳細について説明する。待機位置において、操作つまみ13は、前板部134をコンロ1の筐体2の前面Fと前後方向においてほぼ同じ位置に配置する。したがって、コンロ1は、操作つまみ13が待機位置にある状態(本実施形態では、バーナが消火しておりコンロ1が調理等に使用されていない状態)のコンロ1の前方からの外観を、操作つまみ13が目立たず、平面的で統一感のあるものにできる。 The appearance of the operation knob 13 in the standby position and the details of the configuration of the operation knob 13 will be described with reference to Figure 6. In the standby position, the operation knob 13 has the front panel portion 134 positioned at approximately the same position in the front-to-rear direction as the front surface F of the housing 2 of the stove 1. Therefore, when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position (in this embodiment, the burner is turned off and the stove 1 is not being used for cooking, etc.), the appearance from the front of the stove 1 can be made to look flat and unified, with the operation knob 13 being inconspicuous.

図6のW1領域に示すように、本体部材131、導光部材136及び規制部材139が一体となって操作つまみ13が構成された状態において、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151は、本体部材131の胴部132の後端部133の後方において、胴部132の径方向内側に張り出す。すなわち、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151が、本体部材131の胴部132の後端部133に当接する。また、規制部材139のフランジ部162は、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151の後方において、筒状部161の後端部から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出す。したがって、操作つまみ13において、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151は、本体部材131の胴部132の後端と規制部材139のフランジ部162とによって前後方向において挟着される。このため、導光部材136が本体部材131の胴部132において前後方向に位置ずれすることが防止される。 As shown in the W1 region of FIG. 6, when the main body member 131, the light guide member 136, and the regulating member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guide member 136 protrudes radially inward from the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. That is, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guide member 136 abuts against the rear end portion 133 of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. In addition, the flange portion 162 of the regulating member 139 protrudes radially outward from the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 161 behind the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guide member 136. Therefore, in the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guide member 136 is sandwiched in the front-rear direction between the rear end of the body portion 132 of the main body member 131 and the flange portion 162 of the regulating member 139. This prevents the light guide member 136 from shifting in the front-to-rear direction in the body portion 132 of the main body member 131.

図7から図9を参照して、操作つまみ13における火力表示について説明する。図7から図9において、操作つまみ13は操作位置にある。光源基板60は、LED61が実装される実装面が正面よりも下方を向くように傾斜した状態で設置される。光源基板60の複数のLED61は、安全弁の開放時に全てが点灯する。複数のLED61は、実装面に対して垂直方向に光を出射する。したがって、LED61から出射する出射光は、操作つまみ13の後端部のうち上側の部分に向けて、光源基板60から斜め下方に向かう。光源基板60は、LED61を複数用いることで、単独のLED等の光源を用いる場合よりも強い光を、操作つまみ13の後端部に向けて出射できる。 The heat display on the operation knob 13 will be described with reference to Figs. 7 to 9. In Figs. 7 to 9, the operation knob 13 is in the operation position. The light source board 60 is installed in a tilted state so that the mounting surface on which the LEDs 61 are mounted faces downward rather than forward. All of the multiple LEDs 61 on the light source board 60 are turned on when the safety valve is opened. The multiple LEDs 61 emit light perpendicular to the mounting surface. Therefore, the light emitted from the LEDs 61 is directed diagonally downward from the light source board 60 toward the upper part of the rear end of the operation knob 13. By using multiple LEDs 61, the light source board 60 can emit stronger light toward the rear end of the operation knob 13 than when a single light source such as a single LED is used.

前述したように、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、火力調節カム26は操作つまみ13と連結し、操作つまみ13の回動操作に応じて奥バーナ6の火力を調節する。操作つまみ13が回転すると、筒状体70は筒状体操作部材36を介して火力調節カム26とともに軸心AXの周りを回転する。筒状体70の本体部71は、光通過部77が設けられる位置を除き、操作つまみ13の後端部に対してLED61の出射光を遮る。光通過部77が設けられる位置においてはLED61の出射光が通過し、出射光が操作つまみ13の後端部の上側の部分に到達する。操作つまみ13が回転されて火力が変更されると、光通過部77が軸心AXの周りを周方向に移動するので、LED61の出射光が操作つまみ13の後端部に到達する範囲が変化する。 As described above, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the flame adjustment cam 26 is connected to the operation knob 13 and adjusts the flame of the rear burner 6 in response to the rotation of the operation knob 13. When the operation knob 13 rotates, the cylindrical body 70 rotates around the axis AX together with the flame adjustment cam 26 via the cylindrical body operating member 36. The main body 71 of the cylindrical body 70 blocks the emitted light of the LED 61 from the rear end of the operation knob 13, except for the position where the light passing portion 77 is provided. The emitted light of the LED 61 passes through the position where the light passing portion 77 is provided, and the emitted light reaches the upper part of the rear end of the operation knob 13. When the operation knob 13 is rotated to change the flame, the light passing portion 77 moves circumferentially around the axis AX, so that the range where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the rear end of the operation knob 13 changes.

前述したように、操作つまみ13が待機位置にある場合、本体部材131の前板部134が前面Fと前後方向においてほぼ同じ位置となる位置に配置され、導光部材136は、その全体が化粧パネル80よりも後方(筐体2の前面Fよりも後方)に配置される。このため、操作つまみ13が待機位置にある場合、使用者は導光部材136を視認することができない。一方、操作つまみ13が待機位置から押込位置を経て操作位置に移動すると、操作つまみの本体部材131の大部分が、前面Fよりも前方に突出する。これに伴い、図9のW2領域に示すように、延設部138の先端部分が、化粧パネル80の前面よりも前方に突出して配置される。よって、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、使用者は導光部材136の延設部138の先端部分を視認できる。 As described above, when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the front plate portion 134 of the main body member 131 is disposed at a position that is approximately the same as the front surface F in the front-rear direction, and the entire light guide member 136 is disposed behind the decorative panel 80 (behind the front surface F of the housing 2). Therefore, when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the user cannot see the light guide member 136. On the other hand, when the operation knob 13 moves from the standby position through the pressed position to the operating position, most of the main body member 131 of the operation knob protrudes forward from the front surface F. Accordingly, as shown in the W2 region in FIG. 9, the tip portion of the extension portion 138 is disposed to protrude forward from the front surface of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the user can see the tip portion of the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136.

図8及び9に示すように、操作つまみ13の後端部は導光部材136の装着部137によって環状に覆われている。光通過部77を通過するLED61の出射光は、装着部137のうち光通過部77が配置される位置に対応する部分を照射する。装着部137を照射する光は、装着部137の端面から導光部材136の内部に進入し、進入した光は導光部材136の内部で拡散し、拡散した光が突出部138Aに導かれる。このため、装着部137のうちLED61の出射光が到達した部分の近傍に配置される突出部138Aが発光する。一方、装着部137のうち光通過部77が配置されない位置に対応する部分からはLED61の出射光が進入しないので、その部分に対応する突出部138Aは発光しない。よって、操作つまみ13が回転されて火力が変更されることに応じて、LED61の出射光が導光部材136の装着部137に到達する範囲が変化する。 8 and 9, the rear end of the operation knob 13 is covered in a ring shape by the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136. The light emitted from the LED 61 passing through the light passing portion 77 irradiates the portion of the mounting portion 137 corresponding to the position where the light passing portion 77 is arranged. The light irradiating the mounting portion 137 enters the inside of the light guide member 136 from the end face of the mounting portion 137, the entering light is diffused inside the light guide member 136, and the diffused light is guided to the protrusion 138A. Therefore, the protrusion 138A arranged near the portion of the mounting portion 137 where the emitted light from the LED 61 reaches emits light. On the other hand, the light emitted from the LED 61 does not enter the portion of the mounting portion 137 corresponding to the position where the light passing portion 77 is not arranged, so the protrusion 138A corresponding to that portion does not emit light. Therefore, as the operating knob 13 is rotated to change the heat level, the range in which the light emitted from the LED 61 reaches the mounting portion 137 of the light-guiding member 136 changes.

延設部138は、複数の突出部138Aを備えるので、装着部137のうちLED61の出射光が到達した部分の前方に配置される突出部138Aが発光し、出射光が到達しない部分の突出部138Aは発光しない。すなわち、奥バーナ6の火力に応じて、突出部138Aの夫々が独立して発光する。LED61の出射光が装着部137に到達する範囲が広くなるほど、発光する突出部138Aの数が増加する。また、出射光が装着部137に到達する範囲が狭くなるほど発光する突出部138Aの数が減少する。したがって、操作つまみ13は、操作つまみ13の回転量に対応する奥バーナ6の火力の程度を、操作つまみ13の胴部132の上側部分において、延設部138が発光する範囲(発光する突出部138Aの数)によって示すことができる。 The extension 138 has multiple protrusions 138A, so that the protrusions 138A arranged in front of the part of the mounting part 137 where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches emit light, and the protrusions 138A in the part where the emitted light does not reach do not emit light. That is, each of the protrusions 138A emits light independently according to the flame power of the rear burner 6. The wider the range where the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, the more the number of the emitting protrusions 138A increases. Also, the narrower the range where the emitted light reaches the mounting part 137, the fewer the number of the emitting protrusions 138A. Therefore, the operation knob 13 can indicate the degree of the flame power of the rear burner 6 corresponding to the amount of rotation of the operation knob 13 by the range where the extension 138 emits light (the number of emitting protrusions 138A) in the upper part of the body 132 of the operation knob 13.

本実施形態では、奥バーナ6の火力が強くなるほどLED61の出射光が装着部137に到達する範囲が広くなり、延設部138の発光する範囲が広くなる(発光する突出部138Aの数が多くなる)。また、奥バーナ6の火力が弱くなるほどLED61の出射光が装着部137に到達する範囲が狭くなり、延設部138が発光する範囲が狭くなる(発光する突出部138Aの数が少なくなる)。したがって、コンロ1は、延設部138が発光する範囲によって、奥バーナ6の火力を使用者に直観的に把握させることができる。操作位置における操作つまみ13の胴部132は、コンロ1の筐体2の前面F(図1参照)よりも前方に配置される。調理等でコンロ1を使用する使用者は、胴部132における延設部138の発光範囲を、調理中の姿勢のまま上方から見下ろすことで、奥バーナ6の火力を認識できる。 In this embodiment, the stronger the flame power of the rear burner 6, the wider the range over which the light emitted by the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, and the wider the range over which the extension part 138 emits light (the more the number of the emitting protrusions 138A). Also, the weaker the flame power of the rear burner 6, the narrower the range over which the light emitted by the LED 61 reaches the mounting part 137, and the narrower the range over which the extension part 138 emits light (the fewer the number of the emitting protrusions 138A). Therefore, the stove 1 allows the user to intuitively grasp the flame power of the rear burner 6 based on the range over which the extension part 138 emits light. The body part 132 of the operation knob 13 in the operating position is located forward of the front face F (see FIG. 1) of the housing 2 of the stove 1. A user who uses the stove 1 for cooking, etc. can recognize the flame power of the rear burner 6 by looking down from above at the emitting range of the extension part 138 on the body part 132 while in a cooking position.

操作つまみ13において、複数の平面部143が設けられているので、使用者は、回動操作において操作つまみ13をしっかりと摘み、火力を精度よく調節することができる。導光部材136の延設部138における突出部138Aの夫々と、複数の平面部143の夫々とが、操作つまみ13において前後方向に一列に延びた印象を与えるので、操作つまみ13の美観が向上する。また、図9のW2領域に示すように、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、本体部材131の胴部132における係合穴141及び係合穴141に係合する規制部材139の係合部163は、化粧パネル80の前面(前面F)よりも後方に位置する。このため、操作位置にある操作つまみ13の回動操作を行う使用者には、係合穴141及び係合部163が見えない。コンロ1は、このような係合穴141及び係合部163の配置の工夫によって、係合穴141及び係合部163を設けても、コンロ1の美観が低下することを回避できる。 Since the operation knob 13 has a plurality of flat surfaces 143, the user can firmly grasp the operation knob 13 during the rotation operation and adjust the flame power with precision. The protrusions 138A in the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 and the plurality of flat surfaces 143 give the impression of extending in a line in the front-rear direction in the operation knob 13, improving the aesthetics of the operation knob 13. In addition, as shown in the W2 region of FIG. 9, when the operation knob 13 is in the operation position, the engagement hole 141 in the body portion 132 of the main body member 131 and the engagement portion 163 of the regulating member 139 that engages with the engagement hole 141 are located behind the front surface (front surface F) of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, the engagement hole 141 and the engagement portion 163 are not visible to the user who rotates the operation knob 13 in the operation position. By devising such an arrangement of the engagement holes 141 and engagement parts 163, the stove 1 can avoid compromising its aesthetic appearance even if it has the engagement holes 141 and engagement parts 163.

なお、化粧パネル80において光源基板60の前方の位置に設けられる透光部81(図7及び図9参照)は、LED61から出射され、パネル本体部50の上側部分52の切欠部54(図3参照)を介して後面から入射する光を、化粧パネル80の前面から前方へ出射する。透光部81は、LED61の光を出射することによって、奥バーナ6が点火中であることを使用者に報知できる。なお、光源基板60の複数のLED61は、安全弁の閉鎖時においてコンロ1に何らかのエラーが生じている場合にも点灯する。この場合、透光部81は、LED61の光を出射することによって、コンロ1に何らかのエラーが生じていることを使用者に報知できる。安全弁の閉鎖時においては、操作つまみ13は待機位置にあり、導光部材136による奥バーナ6の火力表示が行われないので、使用者は、コンロ1に何らかのエラーが生じていることと、奥バーナ6が点火中であることとを誤認することがない。 The light-transmitting section 81 (see Figs. 7 and 9) provided in front of the light source board 60 in the decorative panel 80 emits light emitted from the LED 61 and incident from the rear through the notch 54 (see Fig. 3) of the upper part 52 of the panel main body 50 to the front from the front surface of the decorative panel 80. The light-transmitting section 81 can notify the user that the rear burner 6 is igniting by emitting the light of the LED 61. The LEDs 61 of the light source board 60 are also lit when an error occurs in the stove 1 when the safety valve is closed. In this case, the light-transmitting section 81 can notify the user that an error occurs in the stove 1 by emitting the light of the LED 61. When the safety valve is closed, the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, and the light-guiding member 136 does not display the flame power of the rear burner 6, so the user will not mistakenly believe that an error has occurred in the stove 1 and that the rear burner 6 is igniting.

以上説明したように、本体部材131は、胴部132に、三つの係合穴141を備える。規制部材139は、筒状部161に、三つの係合部163を備える。導光部材136を装着した胴部132に対して後方から筒状部161が挿入されると、胴部132における三つの係合穴141の夫々に対して、筒状部161における三つの係合部163の夫々が係合する。これにより、本体部材131、導光部材136及び規制部材139が一体となって、操作つまみ13が構成される。操作つまみ13において、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151は、本体部材131の胴部132の後端部133の後方において、胴部132の径方向内側に張り出す。規制部材139のフランジ部162は、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151の後方において、筒状部161の後端部から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出す。これにより、導光部材136の逆フランジ部151が、フランジ部162と胴部132の後端との間で前後方向から挟着される。したがって、本体部材131に対する導光部材136の前後方向への位置ずれが規制される。コンロ1は、本体部材131、導光部材136及び規制部材139の形状の工夫によって、本体部材131、導光部材136及び規制部材139を一体にして操作つまみ13を構成するだけで、導光部材136の位置ずれを防止できる。 As described above, the main body member 131 has three engagement holes 141 in the barrel 132. The restricting member 139 has three engagement portions 163 in the tubular portion 161. When the tubular portion 161 is inserted from the rear into the barrel 132 to which the light-guiding member 136 is attached, the three engagement portions 163 in the tubular portion 161 engage with the three engagement holes 141 in the barrel 132, respectively. As a result, the main body member 131, the light-guiding member 136, and the restricting member 139 are integrated to form the operation knob 13. In the operation knob 13, the reverse flange portion 151 of the light-guiding member 136 protrudes radially inward from the rear end portion 133 of the barrel 132 of the main body member 131. The flange portion 162 of the regulating member 139 protrudes radially outward from the rear end of the cylindrical portion 161 behind the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136. This causes the reverse flange portion 151 of the light guiding member 136 to be sandwiched between the flange portion 162 and the rear end of the body portion 132 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the positional deviation of the light guiding member 136 in the front-rear direction relative to the main body member 131 is regulated. The stove 1 can prevent the positional deviation of the light guiding member 136 by simply forming the operation knob 13 by integrating the main body member 131, the light guiding member 136, and the regulating member 139 by devising the shapes of the main body member 131, the light guiding member 136, and the regulating member 139.

操作つまみ13において、本体部材131の胴部132に設けられる凹部142に対して、導光部材136の装着部137及び延設部138が差し入れられる。これにより、本体部材131の胴部132に対して、導光部材136が胴部132の周方向に回転する位置ずれが防止される。 In the operation knob 13, the mounting portion 137 and the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 are inserted into the recess 142 provided in the barrel 132 of the main body member 131. This prevents the light guide member 136 from being misaligned relative to the barrel 132 of the main body member 131 as it rotates in the circumferential direction of the barrel 132.

凹部142は、複数の凹部142Aを備える。複数の凹部142Aの夫々は、胴部132の外周面に対して胴部132の径方向内側に凹む。複数の凹部142Aの夫々は、胴部132の後端部から前方に向けて、周方向に等間隔に延びるように形成される。導光部材136の延設部138は、装着部137から前方に向けて櫛歯状に等間隔に突出する突出部138Aを複数備える。装着部137は、複数の突出部138Aの夫々の後部を、本体部材131の凹部142における複数の凹部142Aの間隔と同じ間隔になるように連結している。複数の突出部138Aは、複数の凹部142の形状に対応して設けられている。導光部材136が本体部材131の凹部142の内側に対して後方から挿入されると、複数の凹部142Aの夫々に対して延設部138の複数の突出部138Aの夫々が、後方から前方に向けて差し入れられる。これにより、導光部材136が、本体部材131の胴部132に対して胴部132の周方向に回転することが規制される。したがって、コンロ1は、導光部材136が胴部132に対して周方向に位置ずれすることを防止できる。 The recess 142 has a plurality of recesses 142A. Each of the recesses 142A is recessed radially inward of the body 132 with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the body 132. Each of the recesses 142A is formed to extend circumferentially at equal intervals from the rear end of the body 132 forward. The extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 has a plurality of protrusions 138A that protrude forward from the mounting portion 137 at equal intervals in a comb-tooth shape. The mounting portion 137 connects the rear portions of the plurality of protrusions 138A so that the intervals are the same as the intervals between the plurality of recesses 142A in the recess 142 of the main body member 131. The plurality of protrusions 138A are provided in accordance with the shapes of the plurality of recesses 142. When the light guide member 136 is inserted from the rear into the inside of the recess 142 of the main body member 131, each of the multiple protrusions 138A of the extension portion 138 is inserted from the rear toward the front into each of the multiple recesses 142A. This restricts the light guide member 136 from rotating in the circumferential direction of the body portion 132 relative to the body portion 132 of the main body member 131. Therefore, the stove 1 can prevent the light guide member 136 from shifting in the circumferential direction relative to the body portion 132.

コンロ1は、操作つまみ13の本体部材131の導光部材136に複数の平面部143を設けるので、使用者が操作位置にある操作つまみ13の回動操作をする場合に、操作つまみ13を摘まむ指を滑りにくくし、操作つまみ13の操作性を向上できる。また、コンロ1は、操作つまみ13が回動操作されても、導光部材136が胴部132に対して周方向に位置ずれすることを防止できる。導光部材136の延設部138における突出部138Aの夫々と、複数の平面部143の夫々とが、操作つまみ13において前後方向に一列に延びた印象を与えるので、操作つまみ13の美観が向上する。 The stove 1 has multiple flat surfaces 143 on the light guide member 136 of the main body member 131 of the operation knob 13, which makes it difficult for the fingers gripping the operation knob 13 to slip when the user rotates the operation knob 13 in the operating position, improving the operability of the operation knob 13. The stove 1 also prevents the light guide member 136 from shifting in the circumferential direction relative to the body 132, even when the operation knob 13 is rotated. The protrusions 138A on the extensions 138 of the light guide member 136 and the multiple flat surfaces 143 give the impression that the operation knob 13 extends in a line in the front-to-rear direction, improving the aesthetic appearance of the operation knob 13.

操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合、本体部材131の胴部132における係合穴141及び係合穴141に係合する規制部材139の係合部163は、化粧パネル80の前面(前面F)よりも後方に位置する。このため、係合穴141及び係合部163が、操作位置にある操作つまみ13の回動操作を行う使用者の目に入らない。したがって、コンロ1は、コンロ1の美観が妨げられることを防止できる。 When the operating knob 13 is in the operating position, the engaging hole 141 in the trunk 132 of the main body member 131 and the engaging portion 163 of the restricting member 139 that engages with the engaging hole 141 are located behind the front surface (front surface F) of the decorative panel 80. Therefore, the engaging hole 141 and the engaging portion 163 are not visible to a user who is rotating the operating knob 13 in the operating position. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the stove 1 is prevented from being disturbed.

The multiple flat portions 143 correspond to the "multiple flat portions" of the present invention.

なお、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、種々の変更が可能である。例えば、フランジ部162は、筒状部161の後端部のうち全ての部分から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出している必要はない。フランジ部162は,筒状部161の後端部のうち少なくとも一部から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出していればよい。この場合において、フランジ部162は,筒状部161の後端部のうち少なくとも三か所の部分から筒状部161の径方向外側に張り出していることが好ましい。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the flange portion 162 does not need to protrude radially outward from all parts of the rear end of the cylindrical portion 161. It is sufficient that the flange portion 162 protrudes radially outward from at least a part of the rear end of the cylindrical portion 161. In this case, it is preferable that the flange portion 162 protrudes radially outward from at least three parts of the rear end of the cylindrical portion 161.

導光部材136の延設部138が突出部138Aを備えず、操作つまみ13の胴部132において装着部137に連続して前方に向けて環状に延びる形状であってもよい。 The extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 may not have a protrusion 138A, but may extend annularly forward from the mounting portion 137 on the body 132 of the operation knob 13.

操作つまみ13の前板部134,144は、正面視で完全な円形である必要はなく、円形に近似した形状であればよい。例えば、前板部134,144が、円形からわずかに歪んだ楕円形であってもよいし、円形に近似する多角形状であってもよい。 The front plate portions 134, 144 of the operation knob 13 do not need to be perfectly circular when viewed from the front, but may be shaped to approximate a circle. For example, the front plate portions 134, 144 may be oval shapes that are slightly distorted from a circle, or may be polygonal shapes that approximate a circle.

操作つまみ13は、点火操作の終了後以外の場合に、操作位置に配置されてもよい。例えば、消火操作の終了後から点火操作が開始されるまでの間(バーナが消火しておりコンロ1が調理等に使用されていない状態)において、操作つまみ13が操作位置に配置されてもよい。 The operating knob 13 may be placed in the operating position in cases other than after the ignition operation has ended. For example, the operating knob 13 may be placed in the operating position during the period between the end of the extinguishing operation and the start of the ignition operation (when the burner is extinguished and the stove 1 is not being used for cooking, etc.).

例えば、光通過部77として本体部71の前端部が周方向に切り欠かかれる幅は、上記実施形態よりも広くても狭くてもよい。例えば、光通過部77として本体部71の前端部が周方向に切り欠かかれる幅が、延設部138の1つの突出部138Aの周方向の幅と同じ程度であってもよい。この場合、操作つまみ13が回転されて火力が変更されることに応じて、LED61の出射光が操作つまみ13の後端部に配置される導光部材136の装着部137に到達する位置が変化し、出射光が到達した装着部137の位置に対応する1つの突出部138Aが発光する。したがって、操作つまみ13は、導光部材136の延設部138が発光する位置(1つの突出部138Aが発光する位置)を変化させることで、奥バーナ6の火力を示すことができる。 For example, the width of the front end of the main body 71 cut out in the circumferential direction as the light passing portion 77 may be wider or narrower than that of the above embodiment. For example, the width of the front end of the main body 71 cut out in the circumferential direction as the light passing portion 77 may be approximately the same as the circumferential width of one protrusion 138A of the extension portion 138. In this case, as the operation knob 13 is rotated to change the flame power, the position at which the emitted light of the LED 61 reaches the mounting portion 137 of the light guide member 136 arranged at the rear end of the operation knob 13 changes, and one protrusion 138A corresponding to the position of the mounting portion 137 where the emitted light reaches is illuminated. Therefore, the operation knob 13 can indicate the flame power of the rear burner 6 by changing the position at which the extension portion 138 of the light guide member 136 emits light (the position at which one protrusion 138A emits light).

操作つまみ13は、完全な円筒状である必要はなく、例えば、操作つまみ13の本体部材131の胴部132が、後端部133から前板部134に向けて徐々に先細る形状であってもよい。 The operating knob 13 does not need to be completely cylindrical. For example, the body portion 132 of the main body member 131 of the operating knob 13 may be gradually tapered from the rear end portion 133 toward the front plate portion 134.

コンロ1は、ビルトインタイプのガスコンロであるが、この他、コンロ1は、操作つまみ13の回動操作によって火力調節を行う、ガステーブルコンロ、カセット式のガスコンロ等であってもよい。 The stove 1 is a built-in type gas stove, but the stove 1 may also be a gas table stove or a cassette type gas stove, etc., in which the flame power is adjusted by turning the control knob 13.

コンロ1において、操作つまみ11,12,13,14の全てが、その外周部において導光部材136を用いた火力表示を行う必要はない。例えば、グリルバーナの火力調節が、無段階ではなく複数段階に調節可能にされている場合には、操作つまみ12の導光部材136の延設部138の発光によって複数段階の夫々が表示されてもよいし、操作つまみ12に導光部材136が設けられなくてもよい。 In stove 1, it is not necessary for all of operation knobs 11, 12, 13, and 14 to display the flame power using light-guiding member 136 on their outer periphery. For example, if the flame power of the grill burner can be adjusted in multiple steps rather than continuously, each of the multiple steps may be displayed by the light emitted from extension 138 of light-guiding member 136 of operation knob 12, or light-guiding member 136 may not be provided on operation knob 12.

操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合に、延設部138が化粧パネル80よりも前方に露出する量は、コンロ1を使用中の使用者が延設部138の一部を視認できる量であればよい。したがって、延設部138が化粧パネル80よりも前方に露出する量は、導光部材136による火力表示の見映え等に応じて任意に変更可能であり、上記実施形態よりも多くても少なくてもよい。 When the operating knob 13 is in the operating position, the amount by which the extension 138 is exposed forward of the decorative panel 80 may be an amount that allows a user using the stove 1 to see part of the extension 138. Therefore, the amount by which the extension 138 is exposed forward of the decorative panel 80 can be changed as desired depending on the appearance of the flame power display by the light-guiding member 136, and may be more or less than in the above embodiment.

上記実施形態では、操作つまみ13が操作位置にある場合に連結部材25の歯部38が火力調節カム26の歯部35に噛み合い、操作つまみ13が待機位置にある場合には、連結部材25の歯部38が火力調節カム26の歯部35に噛み合わない。例えば、操作つまみ13がいずれの位置にある場合にも、連結部材25の歯部38が火力調節カム26の歯部35に噛み合うように構成されていてもよい。この場合、導光部材136は、操作つまみ13の胴部132のうち上側に配置される部分にのみ設けられてもよい。すなわち、装着部137は、胴部132の後端部133の一部を覆う形状であってもよい。 In the above embodiment, when the operation knob 13 is in the operating position, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 engage with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26, and when the operation knob 13 is in the standby position, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 do not engage with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26. For example, the teeth 38 of the connecting member 25 may be configured to engage with the teeth 35 of the flame adjustment cam 26 regardless of the position of the operation knob 13. In this case, the light guide member 136 may be provided only on the portion of the body 132 of the operation knob 13 that is located on the upper side. In other words, the mounting portion 137 may be shaped to cover a part of the rear end portion 133 of the body 132.
